Product ReviewsAce Combat: Assault Horizon (Sony PlayStation 3, 2011)

Challenging & Real Like

The Game was sent on time. The product was packaged to make sure it was in good condition. The Game play is really awesome to a point of flying & almost falling off my seat. This game I feel wood be a good intro to real life situations as a pilot. The only difference is you can play the game over where as IRL, you won't have that option. The graphics & scenery are very very good on this Game. It's well worth the price & time.Read full review...

Didn’t like

I bought this game to substitute for my craving for Ace Combat 4 shattered skies on ps2. Since I don’t have a ps2 anymore I bought this sequel thinking it would be just as good or better. 10 minutes into the game I was bored and shut it off. They just don’t make games like they used to. This game takes away your control over the aircraft to make it easier in dog fights. There is no way of turning that off, it’s part of the new features. Very stupid and boring. Graphics are good though.Read full review...

Good, if slightly flawed aerial combat game

Pros:
Great graphics, outputs up to 1080P which I find is a rare thing among alot of games for the PS3, takes full advantage of the system.

A decent fighter game, not a fighter sim by any stretch of the imagination but it is a good overall game and has a lot of action in it, decent story which is surprising for a flight sim.

Cons:
Too much emphasis is placed on the "Dog Fighting Mode" mechanics, something I feel kind of detracts from the gameplay, I also found the auto correction a bit too handholdey for my tastes but that can be turned off as well.

Conclusion:
If your looking for a flight combat simulator this isn't probably the game you are looking for, but if it's just straight up pulse pounding action you are looking for this is the game for you, decent campaign and online action make for an overall good game, even with it's flaws I would recommend it if you are looking for a good flight combat game on the PS3.Read full review...

good aerial game

almost everything is good. the one thing that sucks is the inability tondo barrel rolls which means it takes too damn long to pursue the target during dogfights

A breath of new life for the Ace Combat series, one that I welcome

Honestly, I love this game. A lot of people send it a lot of flak because "it's the death of the series," but those people don't understand that this is not Ace Combat 7. This is Assault Horizon, a breath of new life into the series. With a lot of action, a story that at least has a bit more essence than the CoD story we've heard a million times, and the fighter jets we've come to know and love... this game gets 5/5 from me. There is a lot of new gameplay, including Dogfight Mode (which is the main point that people attack this game for), but it's really not all that bad. In fact, I think it's a hell of a lot of fun. You have to at least try it.

For a more comprehensive review, and one that I agree wholeheartedly with, find Angry Joe's review of Assault Horizon on YouTube. It's a very fair review that I think sums up the game perfectly. :)Read full review...

Fly like an Eagle.. or Raptor..

Like the "dogfight" mode.. Am still looking for Ace Combat 4, as am more used to it. Just getting started with this one, but it's Ok..

Love the Ace Combat series.

Was so excited to get this game. I bit different than the rest but it’s still a great game. Paid great price for it.

Stuck for hours!!

Took me back in time for sure, owned the game before and sold it. Will never do that again. Great game for sure!
